Marion County Courthouse, Hannibal

Posted on September 3, 2020 by Chris Naffziger

From the Vault: Marion County Courthouse, Palmyra

Posted on September 2, 2020 by Chris Naffziger

My family had stopped to get gas in early July of 2008 in downtown Palmyra, and we had seen the amazing Marian County Courthouse, so that is why I came back. Why I never posted these pictures is unknown to… Continue Reading →

From the Vault: Downtown Palmyra

Posted on September 1, 2020 by Chris Naffziger

Downtown Palmyra is typical of many small county seats: an abundance of Italianate storefronts of about two stories high that were built in clusters so they create a “street wall” along Main Street. What is fun to see is how… Continue Reading →

From the Vault: South Main Street, Palmyra

Posted on August 31, 2020 by Chris Naffziger

Heading south down the Mississippi River, I realized that I had never posted all of my photographs of Palmyra from July of 2008, having only done one post on the churches of the county seat of Marion County. But it’s… Continue Reading →

The Rest of the Square, Edina, November 2012

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Chris Naffziger

The southern wall of the square is one of the longest preserved row of Italianate storefronts I’ve seen in the Midwest. Its existence is a treasure. It’s changed little since 2008.

Edina, Return to the West Side of the Square, November 2012

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Chris Naffziger

In a first for this website, I’m actually publishing pictures I’d let sit around for years after I published later photos. But renewed interest in Edina’s stunning west wall of buildings got me to pull these out of storage. It… Continue Reading →

Thousand Hills State Park, March 2016

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Chris Naffziger

I’ve always been intrigued by the explosion of lakes created by dams in the 1950s and 60s. Created out of valleys to provide “recreation” and a stable water supply, they often are long and snaking affairs. This one is Forest… Continue Reading →

Adair County Courthouse, Revisited

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Chris Naffziger

The courthouse once had a tower, like most of the courthouses in Northeast Missouri, but it was taken down because of structural issues. The towns up this way are not nearly as wealthy as they used to be, and fixing… Continue Reading →
